2016 Under-20 Rugby World Championships - Manchester UK

[Brumby Runner]

Think the same thing happened last year with Tuttle (?). Don't remember if he even got on the field.

Australia v Scotland won't be televised because the game is being played at a venue without TV facilities.

@Braveheart81, this story below says the Aust v Scotland re-match is on at AJ Bell stadium again and televised. Is this wrong?

http://www.rugby.com.au/news/2016/06/16/13/27/aussie-u20s-out-for-scottish-retribution

"Australia will face Scotland at AJ Bell Stadium next Monday, June 20, kick-off at 7:45pm. The match will be televised in Australia LIVE on Fox Sports 2, Channel 502, from 4:45am on Tuesday morning."

Edit: all I can find in Foxtel is SF#1, SF#3 and 5th place NZL v Wales. Looks like Braveheart might be right...!

Nice to see that the Aus selectors took my advice and played the forward boppers and Magnay on the wing.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Harry Chapman (NSW) has also been flown over as part of Hugh's Law reinforcements.

Josh Taylor not named in the 23, so looks as if he has been tapped on the shoulder by Team Rehab Selectors. That may explain why he has had limited match time so far.

Vunipola Fifita has also been left out of the 23. Perhaps he joins Taylor in Team Rehab with Chapman flown in to cover him.

 

[Bismarck]

It finally looks like a solid good line up.

Who else is in rehab? and is McCauley in rehab or left out?

Wow - they are starting both of their tight-head locks and Leota at 6; which will mean power in a narrow game if they can last a while as a trio. Not the most mobile of blokes getting around the park though.

Was disappointed in the bonehead play of Magnay which denied us his services in the first game and may have been influential in that Scotland loss, however much they deserved the win. Not that our senior team is any better in that regard.

This is an U20 comp that we should have done well in because I don't think the standard is as high as in other years - though don't say that to Ireland and Argentina.

The Kiwis are on a down year, the B.Boks lost to Argentina who are usually about the same level as us, if that - and the Poms were no great shakes making the semis, or in beating us to get there.

Its another coulda, shoulda World U20 event for us and it looks like we will be making the finals only in an exceptional year hereafter.

Fifth this year, as last, will be a huge result now.

PS - I am glad that Ed Craig will get a chance in the Aussie U20s, though not the circumstances which led to it. I thought he would make his mark earlier this year; it wasn't to be, but now that he has a shot I hope he can play as well as he did for Eastwood in a couple of the TV games I have seen this year.

Georgia a good chance here.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Georgia, Ire, Nz, Eng, Aus is my parlay in fact.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Georgia are seriously good!

 

[Nusadan]

Now Georgia has won, and playing off for 9th and 10th not for the wooden spoon and elimination, they won the right to host the next year's event.

Be interesting how Italy and Japan go in last place play off on Saturday for them to avoid getting kicked out of next year's comp...I feel after showing what they could do v France just then, then they have a shout against Italy.

Italy have zero rugby IQ, they will never play the game naturally. Sad, but true. Georgia, Romania, Japan etc will go past them very soon.

 

[Nusadan]

Oz lets in a soft try thru the fringe of ruck to allow Scots draw level 7 all after a bright start by us

 

[FrontRowFan]

Anyone able to make the video link work?
Looks like Australia might be blocked ...

 

[Happy to Chat]
